I wish sometimes people would think more, about everything.  People try so hard to make things so much more easier for themselves, trying to be logical, trying to make sure everything is great for everyone in the end.  Trying to see if a decision can be made so that everyone else is happy other than themselves, and of course trying to be happy themselves.  No one really believes me, and hardly anyone really believes in me.  The thing is that I have lived quite a life, and done most things that no one would believe either.  YET, yet i try to be as normal as everyone else because I am normal, I have just seen things people haven't and done things people shouldn't, but of course everyone else in life has done those same things, and in a way that just makes my experience less special.  Just because, I have done what they haven't, they in turn have done things that I haven't.  People have lived longer than me, and in their age comes great wisdom... but sadly people take that quite wrong.  Age doesn't always mean everything.  Environment doesn't always mean everything.  How you grow up, how people treat you, how you take and interpret and apply information that is given to you, though askewed it may be due to the nature and nurture cycle that isn't quite as simple as many may think it is.  But from what I see, and think about, distance is always a key that many take for granted.  There are distances in space, time, age, everything, especially thought.  Thought, just because I think what I am thinking about now, and writing it down, people will agree and disagree, but there is a distance from how close one person is to understanding, to having similar thoughts, and to how much they actually care.  I'm not saying distance is the key to understanding the world, but distance is something some people may not really want to think about.  See what I am writing about here is something so simple that people may understand it all the time, and that people think that just because they are busy all the time, always strapped for moments to be free, they are the best at multi tasking and time management, they think they're experts.  But that's not true, they take distance for granted. 

 

It takes time to get to your destination.  Over that time you travel, you travel over distances whatever they may be, whether it be time or space, land, air, sea, the distance could perhaps be thought as I've said before.  Such as you reading this now, the time it takes to finish is a distance you travel to get to your destination which is the end.  But of course the greater more difficult distance is you reading, filtering, thinking, and of course understanding what I'm trying to say here.  For example, some people think like this: Life is a distance, you begin at birth, and your destination is death.  I.e. life is the distance traveled to get to your destination.  But look at it, some people who have been reading and trying to understand what I'm saying, and applying it to my example of life.  The normal conclusion that people will end up with is, well this guy is talking about "It's not your destination, it's your journey" and I have to agree that that is true, it is the journey not your destination.  But many don't believe death is the destination, I mean I hear it all the time, You're born, and you live just to die.  Yay, what wonderful thinking.  Other say, hey I live for now, and today, I know i'm going to die in the end, but so what I'm living to the fullest and trying my best.  Of course that's great thinking either way, because for that person that is how they feel and that is how they want it to be so that is what life is going to end up being for them.  Journey or Destination, a distance is always traveled.  Ah now where am I going with all this, if you have followed me all the way to where I am now, don't be disappointed if I say, I'm not going anywhere with this, because that's probably as true as it could be. 

 

But really though, I'm just trying to state a realization everyone should come to.  Nothing in this life is how it should be, there is distance between everything and everyone no matter how close.  This distance should never be taken for granted because you don't know how many people or things will traverse whatever great distance to be with who they want to and do what they need to.  I know how it is, I've travelled many a great distances that no one would could ever imagine just because they are my distances, as is everyone else's.  Distances are mental, emotional, spacial, everything can be considered a distance even if there is no destination at all, just perhaps the distance is the destination in itself.

 

But of course there is the distance between me and you.  It all depends of faith and understanding.  Do you really care enough to listen to me and try to understand what different messages I try to convey if there is a message at all.  Do you really care about what I say?  If not, that is the greatest distance of them all.  Apply that not only to me, but all your other friends, and loved ones, to strangers even.  If you don't listen, if you don't care, if you don't want to hear anything that person says even if they may be trying to help you, hurt you, understand you, anything, that equals to a distance no travelling will ever surpass. 

 

Once again, food for thought.  All I'm trying to say is, listen, read, and learn.
